Coilover Noise

[Mixtapes]

Hey, before you guys say it yes i have searched all 14pages in noob forums and 20pages in Sus/Handling. But nothing really with an EXACT answer.

I hear a creeking/knocking noise from the front driver side appearing from my coilovers when i take a sharp turn & its really irritating. How could i resolve this ? Tighten Bolts ?

Thanks Heaps Guys.

It doesnt necessarily mean its your coilovers dude...it could be a number of things as there is a handful of moving parts and joins in that area. Coilovers usually knock over bumps too, not just cornering. Best thing to do i take the wheel off and sus it out. Look for any loose bolts, pins or joints or even better is to take it to a workshop even if its just for a diagnosis.

What type of coilovers and how old are they? Knocking from the actual strut itself could also mean it needs to be reconditioned.

IMO go see TSR down at slacks creek. They should be able to help you diagnose the problem properly and suggest a solution

the coilovers are G4's probs about 4000kms ? or so not sure but kinda same brand as D2 / racing logic

Since they're relatively new it's probably just something loose as a few others have said.
